FS: 1996 BMW 318Ti Sport Edition (M) Black

I am not the seller of this 318ti and don't know the owner. Contacted him about the ti through email. Just helping out another Boston seller post it up here. Hopefully get more hits and he can sell it quick.

1996 BMW 318Ti Sport Edition (M), 132K, Black manual

This is a great car that’s fun to drive, and the only reason I am selling is because I am leaving the country. Also it’s the limited edition version of the 318Ti, which has the M sports package (M-Tech Sports Suspension, Color-coded Skirts and Front and Rear M-tech bumpers with integral Foglights, Sports Interior “M-tech" Leather Original Steering Wheel, Gear Knob & Handbrake, Black leather seats with cloth interior, 5-spoke alloy wheels, sun roof, etc)

Please contact baikud@gmail.com. I am free to show the car most days of the week.

not a bad deal at all!

i hope someone here buys it!

looks good, not a "limited edition" but still pretty nice

I've been looking for a nice ti...I think I'll be emailing this dude. Ieverything seems ok, would anyone here be willing to meet up with him and take it for a spin for me? You'd be compensated of course. The only reason I ask is because Boston isn't exactly a 5 minute drive from Annapolis...

looks nice. it appears to have a acs spoiler too. its hard to tell by the pics on the ad but i do see something there. and the rims dont look bad at all. looks well maintained, but you can only tell so much just by seeing the pics.
themightyquinn... i'd look at it for you if i lived there. hopefully someone helps you out that does live in Boston....

PMed themightyquinn with update on the ti and he contacted the seller. He will post his email from the seller later on.

Here is my brief recap.

Helped out quinn to check out the ti last night around 8pm. Took a little while to find it at night and dark out. It was parked on one of the long street in Boston. I didn't contact the seller because it was parked on a public street and just wanted to do a quick driveby to look over the exterior. Front hood is flaking near front part and rear bumper is scratched up. Needs to be repainted and missing passenger side foglight. It has the ACS rear spoiler and OEM M3 lip in front with clear side markers 95-96 style. Need a little tlc to bring it back up to par. (I forgot it has the ///M on the hatch :))

Stealth's assessment seems pretty spot-on. Here's the email the seller shot back to me:

Quote:

There are no mechanical problems that I am aware of. The car runs really smoothly. There are some cosmetic issues, such as few patches on the front hood where the top layer of the paint has come off, there is a minor dent on the back side, also the front bumper is a little lose.I have used it occasionally since I have moved to Boston, so most of the mileage came from highway driving when I was at Dartmouth and would drive to Boston to visit friends, I bought the car second hand, so there has been two owners, the interior looks really good given it's a 96 model, the car used to be garaged when I lived in Hanover, but has been outside the last two years. I have not been in any accident where repair was needed, i believe the previous owner had one accident, but I had the car checked before buying it. All in all I would say the car is in pretty good shape given that it's a 96 model.

I'm going to pass on the car for now, to look for one a bit closer and that won't need as much work from the get-go. Someone should be able to pick this up pretty cheap though. Good luck!

Okay found a different ti for sale on CL Boston today. This is auto with 108,600 on it.

I drove the black one

The car is so low to the ground that I doubt that i could get into my driveway. I am hoping to look at the blue one this weekend even though it has a slush box.
